Senegal international Sadio Mane has been sensationally accused by Premier League legend Michael Owen who claimed that he avoided penalties in game against Chelsea so as for Mohamed Salah not to score.
Liverpool on Thursday night, March 4, suffered an embarrassing home defeat in the Premier League against Chelsea as Jurgen Klopp is now under serious pressure at Anfield.
For more than two seasons now, Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane have formed a superb pairing up front for Liverpool which has helped the club win the Champions League and the Premier League.
Andreas Christensen fouled Sadio Mane in the box which could have been a penalty for Liverpool against Chelsea, but the Senegalese failed to fall down.
According to the report on Daily Mail, Michael Owen claimed that Sadio Mane knew that Mohamed Salah would take the penalty if Liverpool had gotten.
''It was a great touch and he possibly thought he might get a chance at the end of it, but he did something similar a week ago.
''I just wonder, and it might be a little bit of devious thoughts creeping into my head, Mo Salah is the penalty taker in this team, and if he (Mane) thinks he's getting a chance to score he thinks, "well I'm going to score, if I don't stay on my feet, Mo Salah's going to get another penalty."
